During her set, Underwood stood in place as various images were projected onto her ivory Theia dress. "We wanted it to be artful and dramatic," the American Idol winner told reporters post-show.

"There's so many big performances at the Grammys," Underwood added. "I just like to stand still and sing sometimes. So this was the best way to do that, and it still created something visually attention-capturing and beautiful."

"I feel like country music out of Nashville is something that -- I don't want to say has been overlooked for long time -- but I feel like we've always done so amazing," she explained. "[The Grammy producers] did a really good job of having a little bit of everything and it's amazing. I'm proud to have been part of that representing Nashville."
